A Rat King movie??

**Nturtle** · 02-03-2003, 06:55 PM

Yup, apperently New Line is making a movie about the Rat King beefore he was known as the Rat King!!!
Okay not exactly but it looks preety darn close, apperrently there is a movie about a social outcast named Willard who goes crazy, makes friends with rats and gets revenge!!!

Is that wackey or what?! Watch the trailer!!:

**Karpo_007** · 02-03-2003, 07:04 PM

Heh

Looks like a "Rat King" movie all right.

Donatello02 · 02-03-2003, 07:17 PM

Hahahah maybe New Line can tie it in with the next turtle movie. EH?

**Nturtle** · 02-03-2003, 07:25 PM

I've got to see this movie now!!

But yeah, that would make a great background story for the Rat King

**Karpo_007** · 02-03-2003, 07:28 PM

Im sure I will go watch it when it hits theaters here.

lhb412 · 02-03-2003, 07:35 PM

I'm not sure, but I think I heard this was a remake of an older film.

**Karpo_007** · 02-03-2003, 07:36 PM

well looks good anyway.

"They will do whatever I say" Willard

**Nturtle** · 02-03-2003, 07:37 PM

I deffinitely want to see it!!

"Its...just the wind" Willard again!!

**Karpo_007** · 02-03-2003, 07:39 PM

Yeah me too. Im suprised I didn't know about this before. Thanks for the heads up!

**Nturtle** · 02-03-2003, 07:41 PM

No problem dude!
Yeah I just looked into it though and apperently it is based off a horror movie of the same name made in 1971 about a shy kid who trains his pet rat to kill his enemies!!

**Karpo_007** · 02-03-2003, 07:45 PM

Well in this new movie it seems he has more than one pet rat...

Donatello02 · 02-03-2003, 08:05 PM

Cool...Rat King, except even MORE pissed off.

**Nturtle** · 02-03-2003, 08:25 PM

Deffinitely, that part where the door lifts up and all the rats start pouring out is so creepy!!!!

raphael90 · 02-03-2003, 09:28 PM

A movie about the Rat King eh? Sounds cool to me...

**Karpo_007** · 02-04-2003, 02:19 AM

Well it's not THE rat king, but pretty close.

xZAOx · 02-04-2003, 09:56 AM

haha, the whole time im just waiting for him to say "get your damn hands off her!"

didnt look very good to me, tho.

Um, in case no one noticed this, on the bio-card from the 1989 Rat King figure, it lists his favorite film as "Willard".

I'm willing to bet the original Rat King concept is based on Willard... as most Mirage characters are semi-spoofs of other characters.

**Karpo_007** · 02-04-2003, 02:45 PM

You are probably right.

**Nturtle** · 02-04-2003, 03:08 PM

I didn't know that!! But yeah it seems very likely that the Rat King is a Willard parody
